Summary
Summary:
Dig an earth embankment anywhere with your entrenching tool. No extra items to carry, no keys to rebind.
Description
FIELD ENTRENCHMENT
Take out the entrenching tool every soldier already carries, pick a spot, and throw up an earth embankment for cover. No inventory item, no build zone, no supplies - if you can stand there, you can dig there.
HOW IT WORKS
- Hold the entrenching tool (ALICE or MPL-50) and use it to enter placement mode
- A preview shows where the embankment will sit and whether the ground allows it
- Rotate with C, confirm to start digging
- The soldier plays the digging animation; interrupting it cancels the work
The embankment stops bullets. It is a raised parapet rather than a dug-out pit, because the engine cannot deform terrain at runtime - the cover is real, the hole is not.
BUILT TO BE FAIR
Everything the client asks for is re-checked by the server: cooldown between trenches, ground slope, distance from the player, spacing from other trenches and a per-player limit. The limit survives respawn.
NO CONFLICTS BY DESIGN
The mod adds no key bindings and overrides no vanilla config or prefab - it rides on the placement controls the game already has. That means it does not collide with other mods that touch input, building or the shovel.
